We know all about Josh Hutcherson's philanthropic side, his work as a founder and advocate for Straight But Not Narrow made him the youngest-ever recipient of the Vanguard Award at last year's GLAAD Media Awards (Jennifer Lawrence will be appearing at this year's Awards on April 20th), and we just saw his beautiful photo for the NOH8 Campaign.

The lovely and kick-ass (check out her stunt reel below!) Elena Sanchez plays Cecelia in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, and Desde Hollywood sat down with her to discuss the movie and her career as a stunt woman and actress.
What attracted you to the risky business of performing stunts?
Doing stunts is basically like being a professional athlete. When I stopped competing gymnastics after college I was looking to fill the hole that left in my life. I started acting and going to drama school. Stunts then gave me a reason to keep training, stay in shape, and continue performing!
What was your reaction when you found out that you had been cast in Catching Fire?
To be honest, I didn’t really believe it until my first day on set. When I got the call, after about five minutes of hyperventilating, I told myself not to get too excited. In this business there are a lot of disappointments. I kept thinking they had made some kind of mistake and were going to find someone else!
In what ways can you relate to ‘Cecelia’, your character?
Since Cecelia is only mentioned a few times in the book, the love she has for her children that are taken away from her as she is chosen for The Hunger Games kind of becomes a defining characteristic. I have never had to make that kind of sacrifice, but love for people, the world, and life is one of the most important philosophies I live by. I tried to relate to her by thinking about what it would be like to give up some of the most important things in my life, but knowing that it was for a greater cause.
How did the established actors welcome a newcomer like yourself?
On every movie I’ve been on I’ve had the honor of working with people who are extremely talented and have been in the business for years, if not decades. Every day on set is like being in a classroom, I learn so much from them. Not once have I come across someone who was not welcoming! I have been very blessed.
How well would Elena Sanchez do in a “Hunger Games-like” event?
Well, it would all depend on my competition. But beware! I can climb on things, swing from trees, and flip around… AND I have been working on my Ninja skills!
Many thanks to Elena Sanchez for this exclusive interview (in Spanish here)!
Production Weekly just revealed that Mockingjay Part 1 will start production September 16th with locations in Atlanta and Boston! What do you think? Wouldn't it be fun to get some Mockingjay set photos just as we're gearing up for the Catching Fire premiere?
Production Weekly just confirmed the Mockingjay production schedule as Septermber 16th through May 20th, 2014, and says Los Angeles will be an additional location for the shoot.
The film has barely wrapped and Nelson Ascencio (Flavius) has already filmed his interview for the Catching Fire DVD/Blu-Ray Extras! Nelson shared these photos on his Facebook page and added:
Today i was interviewed for the DVD/BluRay Special Features for "Catching Fire". Call me dorky but i was very excited about it. Thanks to all the cool fans of the films who said "hello". Can't wait to see it myself.
We definitely won't call you dorky and we can't wait to see it either! Along with some deleted scenes, right Lionsgate?!
